the new shop

it's soooo hot here in tokyo. evryday in day time is over 33C and even at night temp is like 28C. too hot to sleep. we live on the first floor and cocks are everywhere outside so that we cant leave our windows open. always sleep in warm mud.

anyways,i should talk about my recent condition. we used to have armani furniture shop which was located in two buildings away from whre i work right now. it didnt sell well and armani is opening "armani building" in ginza. because of that our company closed the shop in Jun. now our manager wants to start a new shop named "hhstyle.com/Limited". what we are gonna display there is those limited furniture. our stupid manager is going to bring her chair which was limited to only 20 in the whole world introduced 20yrs ago and now priced as 11,000,000yen. crazy. of course she doesnt wanna sell it. just show it off.
two employees had to be placed for the new shop and i and another girl coworker were picked. im gonna be an assistant manager there. just the name sounds great but no raise, more work, less offs. that is it. and the shop is opening only for 6months. it's a challenge of our company so that is a short project.

because of the preparation of the opening of the new shop im so so tired everyday. so many things to get done. so many things to change and arrange. so much stress...
im thinking to quit this company after 6months. i dont see any meaning of staying here longer...


k, changing the subject.
my bf's mom is visiting tokyo right now. i had only one day off this week and have to work another seven days straight. very tired thinking about it already!
anyways.... my bf's mom hasnt been to tokyo for long time and hasnt been many famous places like "roppongi hills", "omotesando hills", "odaiba"....
i had a day off yesterday, so as isao.
met up with isao's mom at 9am, went for breakfast, and
walked to harajuku to show her isao's shop (BURTON). and we took her to "omotesando hills" first, then "asakusa" which is like 40mins away from where i live by train. we looked around the very famous temple. from there to "odaiba" we took a boat. took us more than an hour on the typical dirty river in tokyo area. felt nice sometimes (if you dont look down on water...).
odaiba is one of the most popular place for visitors. just so so soooo many ppl. crowded like inside of train. we lined for going up the tower (to see the view) for 30mins waited for the elevater!! tiring. but that was what his mom wanted so it was ok for me. isao was complaining tho. he is impatient!

then we headed for Tsukishima for monja-yaki(cant explain in english. very tasty food originated in tokyo).
i was dead tired already. walked around all day long in very humid and hot air... but her "enjoying tokyo" wasnt over. she came to our place. stayed for like 2h and finally left at 10pm.

in this morning, met up with her at 9am to have a breakfast together. i usually wake up at 9am.... see how tired i am? i had to be at work an hour earlier than usual because i had to attend the meeting with our bosses. i was soo tired that kept my eyes moving all the time. otherwise i was fall asleep...zzZ
i have to be at work earlier tom morning too.... when can i get enough sleep (T□T)!?!?!?!! help me...
